Chapter 959 - 957: Repeated Emphasis

"Major Chen, let’s not talk about the concealment of this underground base for now. Even if spies from other countries discover it, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. Without bunker-busting missiles, they probably can’t even get through the base’s gate."

As he spoke, Mo Jingchun glanced at the two soldiers behind Chen Hongping, more precisely, they should be platoon leaders or something similar.

"The strength of a regiment is enough for a small skirmish."

Not to mention that once the controlled nuclear fusion experiment begins, Mo Jingchun will definitely bring a batch of multi-functional Whites over.

Emm, with such power, armed to the teeth, Mo Jingchun truly looks forward to some fool coming over to offer their head.

"Major Chen, I’d appreciate it if you could take me on a tour inside the base and introduce it to me. If you have a structural diagram of the base, that would be even better. I need to determine the core area for experimentation."

"No problem, please follow me. We have already prepared the base’s structural diagram."

Half an hour later, Mo Jingchun returned to the central area of the base, his face full of emotion.

The title of ’construction maniac’ is truly no exaggeration.

Can you believe it, this base actually has a two-layer structure.

From the beginning, Mo Jingchun never anticipated this.

In Mo Jingchun’s fixed impression, underground bases are normally single-layered.

Moreover, the entire base barely looks like it’s been abandoned for years.

Clearly, after so many years, it couldn’t possibly be spotless.

There’s only one possibility: within just one day and one night, the soldiers of the regiment tidied up the entire base inside and out.

And restored all the electricity.

If there’s any flaw in this underground base, it’s the electricity issue.

Once Mo Jingchun conducts the controlled nuclear fusion experiment, diesel-generated electricity alone won’t suffice.

As the various devices begin operating, Mo Jingchun seriously suspects that the aging wires inside the base may overload and melt at any time.

If it causes a fire, the consequences will be quite severe.

After pondering with his chin in his hand for a long time, Mo Jingchun spoke:

"Zero, we’ve also toured the entire base. I think the spot we’re standing at now is most suitable as the core area for the experiment. What do you think?"

"Boss, you’re absolutely right."

Mo Jingchun nodded, directing his gaze towards Major Chen Hongping.

"Major Chen, I plan to make some modifications to the base. I have communicated with the leadership above about this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hongping replied with a smile, "Professor Mo, you’re free to make any changes. We’re only responsible for security and won’t interfere with anything else. Even if you blow up the base, we’re fully cooperative."

"Cough cough—not to that extent, not that extreme. But it was better to inform you first.

First, the wiring inside the base is showing signs of aging. Moreover, most of the electricity required for my experiments is high-voltage strong current, and the existing wiring simply can’t support it. I will arrange for White to replace and replan the entire wiring inside the base. During this period, it may affect your daily lives, and I hope you’re mentally prepared for that.

Secondly, about the electricity issue again, I’ve observed the base relies entirely on diesel generators for power, which is clearly insufficient. I hope the national grid can lay a dedicated high-voltage line here.

This also means that this underground base will be made public and known to certain national institutions."

Mo Jingchun had considered other ways of supplying power, but in the short term, achieving high-voltage strong current supply aside from the national grid really doesn’t have any other good solutions.

Building a nuclear power plant would not only take time but also pose significant safety risks.

With a regiment’s worth of troops, exposing the base publicly might actually deter those with ill intentions, preventing them from probing the experiments inside the base.

Times have changed, so if any country dares to bomb within Xia Country’s borders, especially in the hinterlands, it would definitely mark the beginning of a war between nations, eventually spreading the conflict to countries worldwide.

Moreover, breaking through Xia Country’s layered air defense system to let a missile reach the hinterlands is no easy feat.

Chen Hongping paused for a moment, evidently surprised by this.

"Professor Mo, I’ll report and apply to the higher authorities for national grid power."

...............

That afternoon, a van packed full of cargo left Candy Science and Technology Park.

Having not driven a truck for a long time, Xiaofeixia was still somewhat uncomfortable handling the steering wheel.

With the winding and twisting roads, Xiaofeixia was genuinely worried about driving the truck into a ditch due to his technical issues.

Cautiously, he finally arrived safely at the base.

Completely different from the morning, the previously lush green cedar forest had been cleared into a blank space.

When a base is to be made public, the fate of these cedar trees is already predetermined.

Parking the truck on the still-unpaved ground, Xiaofeixia jumped down from the driver’s seat.

Two soldiers prepared to interrogate him promptly saluted and returned to their posts upon recognizing him as Xiaofeixia.

Returning the salute, Xiaofeixia walked to the back of the truck and opened the compartment door directly.

Just at this moment, Chen Hongping came out from inside the base.

Under Chen Hongping’s puzzled gaze, Xiaofeixia opened the compartment door and retreated three meters backwards.

Before Chen Hongping could step forward to see what was happening, everyone’s attention was drawn to the scene.

One by one, pairs of Whites, distinctly different from normal understanding, jumped off the truck in a rhythmic manner.

In less than a minute, three neat rows of multi-functional Whites stood before Xiaofeixia.

"Thirty of them," Chen Hongping murmured to himself.

"Major Chen, you came at the right time. This is the first batch of Whites the boss asked me to deliver."

"The first batch?" Chen Hongping was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, there’s another truckload."

Hearing this, Chen Hongping nodded numbly.

Chen Hongping suddenly felt like there was no need to station troops here, nor worry about security issues.

Although he’s been carrying out various missions for years, he’s aware of the rumors regarding Whites.

White’s combat power is impressive!

On the way back to Candy Science and Technology Park, Xiaofeixia noticed many people from the national grid on the side of the road, silently observing the fast pace of the national grid.

The boss had only raised the suggestion in the morning, and by the afternoon, the national grid had already started work.

Just as Xiaofeixia left, the Whites began to move.

Each White opened a carry-on box and started assembling something on the ground.

Within just a few minutes, Chen Hongping looked at the very familiar satellite receivers with a twitch on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Hongping realized why so many feared robots would completely replace humans in work.

This speed, this efficiency, which entrepreneur wouldn’t like it?

But realizing a fully robot-handled era is still premature, unless we enter the interstellar era; otherwise, fully achieving smart automation will inevitably lead to significant societal issues.

Shaking his head, Chen Hongping ignored the Whites.

Just as he had told Mo Jingchun in the morning, they’re only responsible for security; for everything else, they don’t interfere, as repeatedly emphasized by the higher-ups.
